Clean & Affordable Homes: The Barreto-Freymiller Tour

As we turn up our thermostats for winter, we must face our increasingly high gas bills and ask ourselves, is this the most efficient way? No! There are better, cheaper, healthier alternatives to heat your home (and power your car). 

Join us for an intimate community gathering and walk-through of a fully electric home. Along the way, you’ll learn about the home electrification process and experience the benefits for yourself! Clean and Affordable Homes: The Barreto-Freymiller Tour is an opportunity for Macomb area residents to learn about issues with gas heating and how to plan for a future without gas. 

We’ll discuss when it's the right time to make the switch, how you can save money, and how our community can move towards cleaner, more affordable options for home heating. It won't be too technical; we want to show how the environment, your finances, and your health can all benefit from getting gas out of your house. 

If that isn’t enough, there will also be an Electric Vehicle showcase in front of the house hosted by the Western Illinois Electric Vehicle club. 

This event is about picturing a future away from gas, making the move to electrified homes, what your future could look like, and the hurdles our communities will face during the transition. 

Free and open to all.

Hosted by Gary Freymiller and Ximena Barreto Gonzalez del Riego, Illinois PIRG Education Fund, Prairie Hills Resource Conservation & Development, Illinois Green Alliance, and Environment Illinois Research & Education Center.
